Methods of making disposable absorbent articles are herein. The method includes the steps: obtaining a carrier web; obtaining first absorbent core web and a second absorbent core web; cutting the first absorbent core web in a nesting configuration thereby forming a plurality of discrete first absorbent cores; cutting the second absorbent core web in a nesting configuration thereby forming a plurality of discrete second absorbent cores; joining a discrete second absorbent core to a discrete first absorbent core and to the carrier web, thereby forming a laminate structure web, wherein a leading edge of the discrete first absorbent core is spaced from a leading edge of the discrete second absorbent core in the machine direction; joining a backsheet web to the laminate structure web thereby forming an absorbent article web; and cutting the absorbent article web into a plurality of discrete absorbent articles.

Disclosed herein are fluff pulp compositions, absorbent articles comprising the fluff pulp compositions, and related methods. The fluff pulp compositions comprise a chemiluminescent system configured to produce visible light upon contact with an aqueous system. Representative absorbent articles include disposable diapers and adult incontinence products. Representative chemiluminescent systems include bioluminescent systems.

A nozzle includes a pattern shim having a plurality of first slits and a plurality of second slits, an adhesive shim having a plurality of first holes, a gas shim, a head body having an adhesive outlet and an adhesive distribution groove communicating with the adhesive outlet, and a face plate. Adhesive ejection ports are formed at openings of the plurality of first slits, and gas discharge ports are formed at openings of a plurality of second slits in such a manner that the gas discharge ports are located on both sides of each of the adhesive ejection ports. The plurality of first holes communicate with the adhesive distribution groove. The plurality of first holes are formed in such a manner that distances of the first holes from the corresponding discharge ejection ports become shorter as distances of the corresponding first holes from the adhesive outlet become longer.

A composite web includes a mass of meltblown fibres including an elastomer and a hydrophilic additive, melted and blown together, and a particulate material dispersed among the fibres and at least partly adherent thereto.

An absorbent structure comprising a planar substrate, an auxiliary glue applied on the substrate, an absorbent material comprising from 80% to 100% by weight of superabsorbent particles deposited on the substrate on an absorbent material deposition area comprising a pattern of absorbent material land areas separated by absorbent material-free junction areas, wherein the deposition area can be notionally divided in eight deposition zones of equal length along the longitudinal direction. A fibrous thermoplastic adhesive layer immobilizes at least some of the absorbent material. The absorbent material is profiled along the longitudinal direction so that at least one of the eight deposition zones is a zone of lower absorbent material amount and the auxiliary glue is absent, or present at a level of at least 50% by weight lower than the average amount of auxiliary glue in at least one of these zones of lower absorbent material amount.

(EN) The purpose of the present invention is to provide a water absorbent article that has high water absorbency and high flexibility and, when used as a cleaning sheet, shows excellent ability to collect waste and dust even on a wet floor, etc. The method according to the present invention for manufacturing a water absorbent article (1) is characterized by comprising: a fiber lamination step for laminating a flexibility-imparting layer (6) having water absorbency on a liquid-permeable surface sheet layer (5) to form a sheet body (35); an emboss processing step for embossing the sheet body (35), said sheet body (35) being in a non-wet state, to form a bulky part provided with a number of peaks and valleys in the sheet body (35); and a binder impregnation step for, after the emboss processing step, supplying a binder to the sheet body (35) from an external surface side and thus impregnating the sheet body (35) with the binder.

An absorbent core for use in an absorbent article including a high loft central layer having deposited on two different surfaces thereon a first superabsorbent polymer SAP1 and a second superabsorbent polymer SAP2 in the form of particles that are at least partially distributed within the high loft layer. The SAP1 has a higher capacity than SAP2 and the permeability of SAP2 is more than 5×10-7 cm3.Math.s/g.

A method of making absorbent foam composites and absorbent foam composites produced therefrom. The method comprises casting an absorbent foam layer having a first side and a second side opposite the first side onto a barrier layer having a first side and second side opposite the first side, where the second side of the absorbent foam layer is in contact with the first side of the barrier layer; joining a second absorbent layer to the second side of the barrier layer before, during, or after the casting step; and breaching the barrier layer after the casting step so that the foam layer and second absorbent layer are in fluid communication. The absorbent foam composites can be used in a variety of applications, including personal hygiene articles, medical bandages, pet pads and agricultural pads.

Apparatus (1) and method for producing absorbent structures with absorbent layers with channel(s) without absorbent material, using a first moving endless surface (20) with specific raised strip(s) (25) and a second moving endless surface (30) with specific mating strip(s) (31).
